Salesforce invests $1 billion in Spain, makes Madrid its EMEA South hub
Salesforce announced on Oct 19, 2026 a $1 billion investment in Spain over five years, naming Madrid as the hub for its EMEA South operations. The new headquarters on Paseo de la Castellana is a five‑floor office that will include spaces for customer collaboration and hands‑on training in agentic AI.
Key points
- Salesforce will spend $1 billion in Spain over five years, establishing a new five‑floor Madrid headquarters.
- The hub will host an AI Implementation Team and a year‑long graduate training program for talent across EMEA South.
- Salesforce’s Agentforce platform is used by Spanish firms such as Repsol, CaixaBank and Telefónica, and by the Madrid public sector.
The hub will host an AI Implementation Team of Forward Deployed Engineers and a regional graduate training centre that will take graduates from across more than 90 countries for a year of intensive AI training before they return to their home markets. Salesforce says it already has over 600 direct jobs in Spain and supports thousands of partners, with customers such as Repsol, CaixaBank, Telefónica, Universidad Europea and Mahou San Miguel using its Agentforce platform.
Through its 1‑1‑1 philanthropy, Salesforce has donated more than $2.4 million to Spain, logged nearly 90,000 volunteer hours, co‑financed a Digital Leadership Program for 33 senior non‑profit executives, and helped launch a free official Salesforce course with the CFTIC. The company frames the investment as a catalyst for AI adoption, talent development and sustainable growth across the region.
